The purpose of this study was to examine whether and how working fathers’ taking parental leave affects career self-reliance and work-family facilitation. I asked 653 married male workers with children under 10 years of age to answer a questionnaire on the internet which consisted of psychological variables of career self-reliance (clarity of career self-image, career development motivation, and career self-responsibility awareness), career self-reliance behavior (adaptation to environmental changes, career development behavior, networking behavior, and proactive job behavior), and work-family facilitation (work-to-family facilitation and family-to-work facilitation). As a result of multiple regression analysis, it was clarified that parental leave promoted clarity of career self-image, career development behavior, adaptation to environmental changes, proactive job behavior, and networking behavior. In addition, it was shown that parental leave promoted work-to-family facilitation.
